A few assumptions,

16000 miles between oil changes (LR recommendation I believe)
Average 35 MPH (you will be surprised how low your average is)
That’s 457 hours driving (haven’t factored in anything for standing still!!)
That’s 27400 minutes
1600 RPM (assumed average)
Your engine has completed 43 million 840 thousand revolutions

Our 4.4 TDV8 has big timing chains crushing our oil on top of your typical engine components putting our oil under extreme duress.

It makes me question my 3k to 4k oil changes and I use top quality oil without fail….. 2012 4.4 TDV8 Vogue Santorini black ivory leather

The oil is not under extreme duress in these low revving engines. JLR oil change intervals are too long but 3-4k is overkill as is premium oil IMO. Soot load and fuel contamination are the reasons to change the oil. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

JayGee, to say you’re more knowledgeable with these cars than me would likely be the understatement of the year so I know you are right.

3k to 4k miles for me is 2 oil changes a year and at £100 for premium oil and filter it’s only costing me an extra £100 per year. Don’t get me wrong, on my salary now having left a lucrative career behind me £100 is not chump change but it gives me peace of mind. 2012 4.4 TDV8 Vogue Santorini black ivory leather

Interesting - do you have any links discussing timing chains and their detriment to oil?

I always thought (perhaps wrongly ) that the big-ends were the oil crushing dept. of an engine?

I spend far too long watching you tube videos especially vehicle related but trying to locate would be quite the mission (I will try). The motor oil geek does cover this subject and his content is very informative and avoids the typical anecdotal bull. 2012 4.4 TDV8 Vogue Santorini black ivory leather

The Motoroilgeek will ask: do you have any data supporting your idea?
Note: your piece of mind isn't oil data
Not saying you shouldn't change it if driving with 'old oil' makes you unhappy.
Your unhappiness may actually be measured (data, science) but, as they say: "Correlation does not imply causation."

One could learn to accept, based on data, modern oils CAN take the beating and one can HAVE piece of mind using modern oils and spend the £100 on something ELSE.

Diesel vs Petrol engines?
How the car is driven?
Oil shear?
Type of oil in terms of viscosity range?
Detergent and addative package in the oil?
Oil dilution from DPF regeneration?
Existing engine wear when you get the car?
How does synthetic oil give you extra mileage if the oil change is only about contamination? 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

I posted as I had previously advised I had watched so many videos I couldn't easily find again, this was one of them hence sharing. 2012 4.4 TDV8 Vogue Santorini black ivory leather

A real engineer would start the video with:
"To find out how long you can use your engine oil based on your type of car and the conditions you use it in you take a sample after, lets say, 10000km and send it in for analysis." 2012 4.4TDV8
